The Long-Awaited Rematch
British boxing fans are in for a treat as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn prepare to renew their rivalry at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday night. This highly anticipated middleweight clash represents the second chapter in their family's legendary boxing history, following their first encounter in late April 2025.
The initial bout saw Eubank Jr emerge victorious by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112 in favour of the East Sussex-born fighter. That victory handed Benn his first professional defeat after the 28-year-old had previously maintained a perfect record of 23 wins from 23 fights.
A Controversial Road to the Ring
The path to this rematch has been anything but straightforward. The fight was originally scheduled years earlier but faced significant delays after Benn twice tested positive for Clomifene, a women's fertility drug classified as a banned substance, during voluntary drug tests in 2022.
Benn consistently maintained his innocence throughout a two-year battle with UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control. His provisional suspension was eventually lifted approximately one year ago when the National Anti-Doping Panel stated they were "not comfortably satisfied" that Benn had committed an anti-doping rule violation.
Following the decision, Benn described the period as "a rollercoaster" and noted that both the WBC and NADP had cleared him to fight. This ruling ultimately paved the way for the long-awaited first meeting between the fighters in April and now sets the stage for their September rematch.
